SLC terminates Jaffna Kings and Colombo Strikers ahead of LPL 2025
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has terminated two Lanka Premier League (LPL) franchises ahead of its 2025 season, which is pencilled for July and August. Jaffna Kings and Colombo Strikers are the franchises to be ousted this time by a league that has struggled to hold on to franchise owners.
The LPL is in its fifth year, but none of the original five owners are now part of the league. Jaffna Kings were in fact the longest-standing owners, having been part of the LPL since the second season.
Their exit now means that the Jaffna franchise, which has won three of the four LPL tournaments to be played so far, is now about to have a third owner. The Colombo franchise will have its fourth, having previously been Colombo Kings and Colombo Stars as well.
